There are a lot of cheap (even freeware) controls for that ... goto <a href="http://www.activex.com" rel="ugc">www.activex.com</a>&nbsp;and search on &quot;System Tray&quot;.<br />
<br />
The systray is that area where they dump the icons ;-)<br />
<br />
You can do it with some API's, but why bother ...<br />
<br />
Charon Software has one too<br />

Is there any way, from VB, to add a mini-icon to the right hand side of the taskbar ?? (where the time appears) - I've used various applications that plonk their icon in that space - how do they do that ?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
